119 – Seriously (9)⚝
There was a horse magic lecture on Friday, but because of the presentation contest with the talker, I had to take an introduction to sorcery. Tyria helped, and I prepared in my spare time, so it was childish to be absent because her feelings were hurt.
“The subject was Ho Barn, right?”
I had to go to the lecture hall on the magical side, so I was with Tyria.
“Yes, senior.”
Let’s answer firmly, then look around.
“You can talk casually when no one is around.”
“Even so. You can’t make a mistake.”
When I said, “Tray-senpai,” His expression was subtle. She has the same likes and the same dislikes.
“After that?”
“I think I will have dinner with Rita-senpai.”
After saying that, I felt the pressure to explain why.
“Meet the princess. Regarding Heoden’s Boar.”
“Recruit Rita?”
“Because I fit the type of talent that Ain wants.”
It just happened that the classrooms for the first and second years were divided, so she bowed her head to say goodbye. However, Tyria followed me. Rita isn’t a nice girl, so she’d better not be accepted, she continues. Even though she has a bad circle image, she even asks what she would do if she received a bad boy.
“It doesn’t get any worse, does it?”
Last weekend, judging from the immediate response to Enboza Mensi’s impromptu bet offer, the work was done quickly and accurately. There is no woman more beautiful than her in her support line, so she has no better fit. She has enough skills to ignore her reputation, so she doesn’t matter anyway. Moreover.
“If the senior won’t do it, don’t talk nonsense.”
“Isn’t that what you were thinking about?”
Tyria told her gossip about Rita von Law with her sincerity. It didn’t sound like much to me. It seems that the guys who fell in love first spread bad reviews when they didn’t get their way, but nonetheless.
“Seeing that she is still the secretary of the student council, her abilities are clear, right?”
“Oh, really!”
She stomped her feet, asking what she had heard, so she bit her body saying that she really had to go to the lecture room.
“Please support me.”
“I hate it.”
“I will cheer you on to listen to the lectures of seniors.”
“You too.”
The only thing I helped out this time was two snails, so it’s annoying to have to dress up as a woman to eat outside. She told me to bring one of mine and one of her own and eat it in bed, so she said yes.
She felt a bit strange as she was sitting alone in a lecture hall without anyone she knew before long. One of the cadets helping with Friday’s lectures organized the blackboard. They were called *sub-assistant cults, and were a kind of servants. Since I was hired by the bachelor side, it was similar to the *courier service that Kite does.
“Is everyone in?”
As usual, Enboza Menshi appeared with a confident step. The talker entered after her. With the instruction to close the doorway, a thump——the bar was locked. The self-confidence characteristic of competent instructors somehow felt more self-righteous than attractive.
─Do you feel sorry for me?
“My parrots are here too!”
She pretended to know first, so I just ignored her.
“Yes, the topic of today’s lecture is Hobarn. I will explain first, and then the Gujokyogyo and Hyunjokyo will come out alternately and make different claims. So all you guys have to do is sit there and raise your hand to decide who wins or loses. It’s a very important thing, so everyone should think carefully and choose well. Otherwise, the teaching assistant will be different. Did everyone understand?”
Anyway, the cadets who attend lectures on Friday have no face to face with me. I heard that only a small number of people changed the day of the week and came over, but that was the Monday lecture. In other words, there is no one here who will be drawn by emotion and side with me.
“So, the Rescue Army?”
After about an hour of lecture, the professor called the talker of session.
“Please make a presentation now.”
The talker came out with a spleen face. It wasn’t an announcement, it was a gaze that went out to any battlefield. After walking with such a rough opponent and seeing how he continues to treat him casually, Enboza Mensi is a whale tendon. With that kind of personality, I must have told Kite all about my circumstances. I can’t be sorry
“To start with the conclusion, Hobarn is a counterexample supplementing Yoo Jae-ron.”
It’s an announcement, but it’s done in two brackets. This kind of thing was amazing because it was the way I used to report to my superiors.
“As you all know, the most important question about magic is whether it exists or not. Can magic exist because it affects the mind? Until the advent of Hovarn, this was a conundrum that magic could not solve on its own. However, with the advent of the physical tool Hobarn, the hypothesis that magic is a kind of provable anti-physical phenomenon has been strengthened. Everyone knows this far, so I won’t repeat it again!”
He looked around us.
“Then, naturally, the question arises whether to view the existence and drive of Hobarn as a material action or as a mental action. Let’s make a small request. Those of you who have seen Hobarn here, can you raise your hands?”
─Why do you even say honorifics to your classmates?
I don’t know if it’s because he’s a real teaching assistant or if he’s imitating an assistant. However, I know that academic knowledge and delivery methods are superior to mine. I immediately understood why Enboza Menci had chosen Talker of Session.
“As those who have seen the real thing will know, Hobarn is too heavy to be able to lift and wield alone. Seriously, since it weighs more than 80kg, it is impossible to maneuver without using a driving force. Because of the existence of such material evidence, it is difficult to claim that Hovarn is nothing more than a mental function today.”
Tokerka stopped talking and controlled his breathing.
“If this is only mind-operated, then it must be explained with the logic that it is a miracle of God, as the Paladins once claimed. However, since they couldn’t lift Hobarn’s weight, the church is no longer claiming it. I understand the above as a well-known fact, Professor?”
As he looked at Enbo and Mensi, she only nodded her head to keep talking.
“This is where the mathematical logic comes into play. There is no direct evidence for the fact that Alpha is true, but if there is an existence called Beta that proves that it can be true, is it possible to clarify it? It’s a story about magic and Hobarn. For example, in the case of divine power, it is self-professed as an independent person in that it helps the body change and recover.”
Then, after asking himself what about Hobarn, he answered himself.
“Hobarn is also self-proven by the same principle as divine power in that it allows you to lift weights that ordinary people cannot lift and wield. This is not only happening in the phenomenal world, but the evidence is too obvious to be called a mental operation. Now the problem is magic. Indeed, can magic independently prove its existence?”
It was difficult to prove the reality of magic without Hovaun, but that was his short conclusion. It was a clear statement, enough to tell how much Tokerka had put into this announcement. He sincerely coveted the position of teaching assistant. However.
─I don’t know much about women either, but would Enboza Menshi like that?
There are a bunch of guys who have been punished for attacking Kite, who was the most beautiful woman in Nuzhaven, in that way. The reason why all the guys who craved love so hard were rejected was really simple.
“I just hate it. Demana, my heart is like this…… Oh my god?”
First of all, it was interesting, so I listened quietly.
“The existence of magic cannot be proven without Hobarn. In this sense, a logical flaw arises that beta must exist for alpha to prove. The religious world ridiculed it, saying it was like a lame man who couldn’t get up on one foot. It sounds like an overly shallow joke. Anyway, let me tell you my personal opinion.”
He looked at the professor and continued his presentation.
“If Hobarn is activated as a driving force, it is no different from magic, and furthermore, the phenomenon of being able to hold Hobarn itself seems to be a possibility of independent self-certification of magic. To help you understand, an extreme claim is that Hovarn is also a type of magic.”
─Isn’t there a logical contradiction?
“Of course, if you make such a claim, it is possible to claim that Hobarn’s weight has become lighter, rather than having the strength to lift the weight of Hobarn. Furthermore, it leads to the question of whether this Hobarn is truly material. Isn’t magic visually observable and even affecting it, but without any real form or force?”
However, even when not active, Hobarn retains the physical properties of a stone.
“This divides the concept of Hobarn, which is a stone mass, and Hovarn, which is a stone mass. This pun on words is that there is a difference between non-maneuvering Hobarn and mobile Hobarn. Of great importance here, then, is what happens when you hit a non-magic enemy with a mobile Hobarn. Everyone who knows will know.”
—Die.
“It has the same effect as being stoned. When this happens, Hobarn is a magically maneuverable object, and it is real in that it can be lifted by force or voluntary lightweighting before it can be slashed with magic. In other words, when Hobarn itself is viewed as magic, the imperfect self-identification of magic is resolved.”
He finished his presentation. Small but intense applause spread.
“I heard you. Are you ready, Talker?”
“You’re overrated.”
He laughed like a boy. I didn’t avoid it because I didn’t know whether it was hostility or jealousy in the eyes that looked at me.
“Now is it my turn for the parrot to come out?”
I came out to the church with a notebook I had written a few days ago. It was my first time giving a presentation in front of so many people, so I was a little nervous. However, compared to the battlefield where I fought the magicians, there is no one to threaten me here.
“I’ll catch my breath and start.”
“Sure. Everyone here is your seniors, so you have to be careful with what you say. Got it?”
“Yes.”
I caught my breath and presented a conclusion like a talker.
“No matter how hard I try, I believe that theism is correct, and that Hobarn cannot prove magic.”
From the professor to the cadets, they frowned together.
“Before examining Hobarn, I will summarize the characteristics of divine power and tell you what I experienced.”
After briefly explaining the treatment process with the saintess, I said that unlike magic, there were practical changes. Because the body changes and recovers, as well as the reduction of fatigue.
“First of all, if you start from the premise that divine power is real, Hobarn is ambiguous and magic is incomplete.”
Because Hobarn is like magic in that it maneuvers with a driving force, but in that it makes substantial changes.
“It’s like divine power.”
